1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundDisturbed liver function tests are associated with the pneumoperitoneum applied for biliary and non-biliary laparoscopic surgical procedures. The extent, duration and reversibility of such an injury are unknown. An isolated organ model was used to assess reversibility of liver injury in a CO(2)-pneumoperitoneum-like environment.

methodsRat livers (n = 63) were isolated and perfused within a chamber pressurized at 0, 3, 5, 8, 12, 15 or 18 mmHg for 60 minutes. Pressure was annulled during the ensuing 61-90 minutes in one-half of the groups and markers of liver function were measured and recorded.

resultsInflow pressure level, flow rate, effluent partial O(2) and CO(2) pressures, O(2) extraction rate, lactate dehydrogenase level, lactic to pyruvic acid ratio, and total xanthine oxidase and dehydrogenase levels became abnormal, starting at 15 minutes after a pressure >5 mmHg was applied in the chamber. Signs of injury slowly reversed towards baseline values in all groups except for the 15 mmHg and 18 mmHg-pressurized ones, even after pressure had been annulled for 30 minutes.

conclusionsCO(2)-pneumoperitoneum-like conditions directly injured rat liver tissue to a degree which correlated with the amount of applied pressure. Damage caused by pressure >or=15 mmHg was no longer reversible if it had been applied over a 60-minute period.
